Preparing your
Home for a showhouse
Read our list of hints below to help you show your house
to the best advantage.
Your
home:
Kerb Appeal :
- The first impression for the buyer is the garden and the
outside appearance of your home.
- A pretty neat garden makes a good impression.
- Exterior walls, woodwork and gutters need to be good repair.
- Your front door - make sure it invites the visitors in.
The Interior:
- Make it as bright and light as you can.
- Keep the house neat and uncluttered
- Freshen up the carpets, paintwork, floors, doors and replace
novilon if necessary
- Place fresh flowers in a vase
- Repair any hairline cracks, cracked window panes, broken
light fittings and kitchen counter tops
- Keep garage tidy
- Cut back trees and creepers from in front of the windows
- Make the patio, paths and pot plant containers attractive
- On a showday make sure the visitors can view all the outbuildings
- Make sure that taps don't leak, that the toilet flushes
and that the water pipes run free
- If you have a pool - let it sparkle and make your pool
and patio areas attractive.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW HINTS BUT LOOK AT YOUR HOME AS IF
YOU ARE THE BUYER BECAUSE THE BETTER IT LOOKS THE BETTER THE
PRICE.
